Recommended Treatment Approaches/Modalities:
1. Multidisciplinary Team Approach is a method in the treatment and rehabilitation of drug dependents which avails of the services and skills of a team composed of psychiatrist, psychologist, social worker, occupational therapist and other related disciplines in collaboration with the family and the drug dependent. 2. Therapeutic Community Approach views addiction as a symptomatic manifestation of a more complex psychological problem rooted in an interplay of emotional, social, physical and spiritual values. It is a highly structured program wherein the community is utilized as the primary vehicle to foster behavioural and attitudinal change. The patient receives the information and the impetus to change from being a part of the community. Role modelling and peer pressure play significant parts in the program. The goal of every therapeutic community is to change the patients selfdestructive thinking and behavioural pattern, teach them personal responsibility, positivize their self-image, create a sense of human community and provide an environment in which human beings can grow and take responsibility and credit for the growth. 3. Hazelden-Minnesotta Model views addiction as a disease, an involuntary condition caused by factors largely outside a persons control. The program consists of didactic lectures, cognitive-behavioural psychology, Alcoholic Anonymous principles / Twelve Steps Principles and biblio-theraphy. It aims to treat patients with chemical dependency, endorsing a set of values and beliefs about the powerlessness of people over drug taking and turning to a Higher Power to help them combat the disease. In this modality, counsellors and patients collaborate in defining the path to recovery. Class A and B 10000 (100% paid), Class C1- 7500(75%), class c2- 5000(50%), class c3-2500(25%)
